Alabama has won at least 11 regular-season games four of the past five years. When Cantor Gaming posted college football win totals Tuesday, bettors saw no reason to get cute and hammered OVER 10.5, the sports book’s opening number on the Crimson Tide.

Cantor moved the price from -160 to -220, “and we’re still taking OVER money, even at that steep juice,” oddsmaker Greg Stockdale told The Linemakers on Sporting News late Tuesday.

Sharps also placed several $3,000 limit bets on Ohio State OVER 10.5 wins, prompting Cantor to move the juice from -160 to -195.

“I’m a little surprised at the Ohio State OVER (action), though I understand it, because their non-conference schedule is not hard at all,” Stockdale said. “They are at Michigan this year. And the thing with Ohio State is they went 12-0 (last season) but six of those games were decided by a touchdown or less, not a sign of a dominant team.

“They had to replace a lot of the defensive line,” he added. “Yes, (quarterback) Braxton Miller is back, and he’s a Heisman candidate. They’re going to be in the conversation for the national title. We’ll see how that market settles.”

It’s been 28 years since the Buckeyes had to replace all four D-line starters.

The Alabama money was no surprise, as the Crimson Tide get byes before their toughest games – at Texas A&M on Sept. 14, vs. LSU on Nov. 9.

Cantor Gaming, which runs sports books at the Venetian, Palms, Hard Rock, M Resort and elsewhere, was the first in Vegas to release college win totals. Cantor actually released UNLV and Nevada totals first, then several more last week, and the rest of their 30 teams Tuesday.

The LVH SuperBook and MGM Resorts plan to release their win totals later this month.

At Cantor, UNLV, coming off a two-win season, moved from 2.5 (-115 either way) to 3 (OVER-200). With 18 returning starters, coach Bobby Hauck (6-32 SU in three years) believes his team is ready to make a big jump.

“Their schedule is a bit more favorable this year, and the coach is coming back, so there’s a little more continuity – that’s the though process,” Stockdale said.

Nevada’s Brian Polian is making his head-coaching debut, taking over a team that went 7-6 last season. When Cantor opened Nevada at 6.5 flat, bettors jumped on the UNDER, moving the juice to -185.

Other moves:

• Louisville opened at 11 (UNDER -130), moved to 11 (UNDER -155)

• Oregon opened at 11 (UNDER -130), moved to 11 (UNDER -145)

• Texas A&M opened at 9.5 (-115 either way), moved to 9.5 (OVER -125)

• USC opened at 9.5 (-115 either way), moved to 9.5 (UNDER -130)

The Cardinals and Beavers were the only teams to open at 11. UNDER bettors need just one loss to be safe, and they’re the ones showing up at the windows so far.

“Louisville’s schedule is laughable,” Stockdale said. “Their toughest game is probably at Cincinnati, where they’re going to be favored. They’re going to be a double-digit favorite in almost every game.”

Chip Kelly is now with the Philadelphia Eagles, but the Ducks’ offense shouldn’t suffer too much with coordinator Mark Helfrich getting promoted to head coach and quarterback Marcus Mariota and running back De’Anthony Thomas returning.

He added of the Trojans, “I can understand why people would bet under on USC, but I think last year was a bit of an odd year and things are going to stabilize. The schedule is not that hard. They avoid Oregon and get Stanford and UCLA at home. At Notre Dame is tough, though.”
